I am a perfectionist and have always had an utter disdain for failure. This has kept me from trying a lot of things in my life. Having finally accepted that failure is a requirement for a fulfilling and diversified life experience, I have created this year long project in an attempt to become comfortable with the idea of failing. This blog chronicles my journey with failure.

Day 128: Mother's Day
Today was Mother's Day. One of the gifts that I gave my mom was a coupon for me to do a chore of her choice, and I made the coupon expire the next day at 4pm so that she couldn't just pick a day at random and tel me to do it right then.
Result: My mom definitely liked the coupon, as I knew she would. She also had me vacuum the upstairs, which I knew she would choose because it definitely needed it. So I vacuumed most of the upstairs, but I didn't finish. So I failed to finish vacuuming the upstairs in one day, but hey, at least I got half of it done. And what a good-looking half it was.
